Motion Relating to Noise Impact
Whereas, the results of the noise survey performed by the Port of Los Angeles show that the West Basin Area of the Port of Los Angeles generates the most noise impacts to the community. And, whereas a portion of this noise is a result of train operations and impacts the quality of life in the neighborhoods adjacent to the West Basin rail tracks. Therefore, to mitigate noise impacts from rail traffic, the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council recommends that the Board of Harbor Commissioners place a priority on the rail and goods movement improvement project within the West Basin. And, further recommends that until the West Basin goods movement and rail improvement project is completed, the Port of Los Angeles via the City of Los Angeles restrict the hours of train operations within the West Basin area from 7AM to 10PM. (Motion approved unanimously)
Motion Relating to Lighting
The Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council recommends to PCAC that PCAC recommend to the Board of Harbor Commissioners that a process of updating the area lighting at the Yang Ming Terminal be implemented. The updating of the area lights can start as soon as the necessary studies and scopes of work have been completed by Port staff. The lighting improvement project could entail retrofitting and replacing individual light fixtures and elements and possibly changing methods of operation. Considerations for the lighting improvements will be safety, security, energy efficiency and reduction in light impacts to the community. (Motion approved unanimously)
